Sumptuous dinner

I’ll make sure I’m enrolled to any weight loss programs the next time we plan to do this pigging again, hahaha!
Last Monday after we watched the fireworks in celebration of the Chienese New Year, we had our dinner at Jordan night market in one of the “not-so-good-looking” restaurants but serve yummy food. :)
One of my son’s godparents was with us also whose having her vacation here in Hong Kong so we chose to brought her on that place.

We ordered mostly seafoods and it’s all really great! Here some photos:

Sorry a little blurred as I took this using my phone.
I forgot to take shot of the noodles, the fried fish and the fried rice.
My son loved the fish fillet and their deep fried chicken wings and he just told me now (as he saw me posting the photos), “Mommy, I hope we can go back to eat there again.” hehe.. :) We will go back definitely!

Mexican Corn Soup

Another cold weather warning today (we have 9C degrees) and it’s best to stay home only. And because it’s cold, I wanted to prepare a soup for us. I browsed the internet to look for different recipe and found this Mexican corn soup recipe… (Side story: this should have been our snack but because I stayed longer net surfing checking on this exposed acne treatment system, the cooking hasn’t done yet until after this post, hahaha!) … Ok, yes a little late but still good for dinner as the temperature is getting lower… soup is still best! ;)

Mexican Corn SoupOk here’s the recipe which is good for 6 servings:

Prep Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:
* 16 ounce(s) corn, whole kernel frozen, thawed
* 1 cup(s) broth, reduced-sodium chicken
* 4 ounce(s) pepper(s), green chile
* 1 clove(s) garlic, minced
* 1 tablespoon oregano, fresh, or 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon pepper, black ground
* 2 cup(s) milk, fat-free
* 1 cup(s) chicken, breast (cooked), chopped
* 1 cup(s) tomato(es), chopped
* 1 cup(s) cheese, shredded Monterey Jack
* parsley
* oregano, fresh

Preparation:
1. In a blender, combine half of the corn and the chicken broth. Cover; blend until nearly smooth.

2. In a large saucepan, combine corn puree, remaining corn, chile peppers, garlic, dried oregano (if using), salt, and black pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in milk, chicken, tomatoes, and snipped oregano (if using); heat until just boiling. Remove from heat. Stir in cheese until melted. If desired, sprinkle individual servings with snipped parsley and garnish with oregano sprigs.

Enjoy your soup! :)

Fish Escabeche

… or Fish in Sweet & Sour sauce. :)
This is my version of Fish Escabeche. A red snapper fish is a good choice for this but usually if we’re going to cook fried fish, I also make the sauce so our food not really dry. Hence, I have different type of fish here, which name I forgot, LOL!

fish escabeche
Below is the recipe on how I do it.

Ingredients:
1 whole 2-3 lbs. Red snapper, cleaned
flour for dredging
vegetable oil for frying
1 tsp ginger slicked thinly
1 medium sized onion, slicked into rings, separated
1 smal carrot, sliced thinly into 2-inch strips
¾ cup water
1 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tbsp vinegar
2 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp ketchup
2 tsp tapioca starch mixed with 1 tbsp water
½ cup sweet red pepper, sliced thinly diagonally
salt and pepper to taste

Procedure:
Sprinkle salt lightly on fish. Dredge fish in flour. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, fry fish in enough oil until golden brown and thoroughly cooked. Set aside in a serving platter.

Prepare the sweet and sour sauce.
Stir together water, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, ketchup in a bowl.
In a non-stick pan over medium heat, sauté ginger in 1 tbsp oil for 20 seconds. Add onion rings and carrot slices. Stir for 1 minute.

Add the sauce mixture and salt and pepper to taste. Let boil for 2-3 minutes. Add the tapioca/water mixture, stirring constantly until sauce has thickened.
Turn heat off and add the sweet red pepper slices.
Pour sauce on top of the fish.
Serve immediately.

Chicken Taj Mahal

I’ve mentioned on this post that I’ve tried an Indian food the last time we went at Times Square. And here’s what I ordered: the Chicken Taj Mahal:

IMG_2095

It’s a grilled chicken with vegetables. The set comes with rice and drinks. And for $45hkd it’s very cheap. If you’re on diet, you may skip eating the rice but if you’re starving the set is just enough. So when you come to Hong Kong and you’re looking for not so expensive food, then you have to try Indian food. They’re located at the food court of Times Square. You can find the food court at the basement. Going there you need to pass Lane Crawford with escalator near with those beauty fragrance and anti aging products… I would definitely order this again as it taste really great! You should try it too… :)
